Amanda
Baranowski

My name is Amanda Baranowski and I'm a recent graduate from the University of South Carolina with a B.A. in Journalism Mass Communications. During my time at Carolina, I majored in broadcast journalism with a concentration in sports media with a minor in entertainment management. Throughout my studies and professional experiences over the past four years, I continue to grow a strong passion for the sports media industry.

 

Sports have always been a central part of my life. Growing up as a Philadelphia sports fan with a passionate team environment, I developed a deep appreciation for the energy and storytelling aspects of games. This exposure fueled my enthusiasm and interest in sports media, inspiring me to pursue this career.
​
During my time at the University of South Carolina, I had the opportunity to cover Gamecock athletics through the university's student-led broadcast organization, Student Gamecock Television. Fulfilling roles in anchoring, editing, reporting, and producing, I had the opportunity to be a part of the media covering the NCAA Women's March Madness Tournament during the Sweet Sixteen round in 2023 on behalf of the organization. Additionally, through my involvement, I gained opportunities to work with Gamecocks+ and Gamecock Football with Coach Beamer to create highlights used in post-football game shows.

​

For the past two years, I have seen sports media in professional golf through the lens of a more sports management role. I was fortunate enough to work the 2024 and 2025 Masters Tournaments in Augusta, Georgia where I served as a hostess in the Bartlett Lounge,  in the world-class Press Building. Being immersed in the high level of production from members of the media, I learned just how much coordination, professionalism, and dedication goes into covering a major tournament like the Masters. 

​​

Currently, I serve as the Washington Commanders Studio Production Intern for the 2025 season. In this role, I have had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in live and pre-produced studio production for the organization's shows, including "Command Center", "The Players Club", "The Gameplan", as well as the Commander's live gameday shows. 

​

I continue to be excited about furthering my career in sports media and am eager to learn and grow in the industry with every organization I am part of.
